David Bowling's Continuous Charging Device

[FatBird]

@ Goat:    I'm gonna try to find a better dead battery which will be cheaper than buying 2 new 18 Ah ones   If not I'll upgrade if needed.



Getting a DEAD battery is NOT difficult, just leave a 12V Car Headlight Bulb on it until it runs down.  Or leave a 12V Motor Home 25 watt or 50 watt Screw In Light Bulb on it until it runs down.  You will have a DEAD battery.  It is really easy.

Thank you.

@FatBird,

I highly disagree. What you are describing is a drained battery.
A dead battery is defined as a battery that you can't recharge again.

@All,

I'm giving up testing on this circuit.
All I have seen in this circuit is draining of batteries.
I hope others get some better results than I have.

 hi all  , i strongly agree with groundloop about the 'dead' battery thing - ive been fully charging, draining, shorting for days and days on end my yet to be bat3, ive lost count of how many times and it still conducts first off - this is a mission in itself! lol
and in the same thoughts as groundloop - i may put this to rest before too long also

@david, i guess youre a busy man but we need more info in the sense of, your bat3 residual voltage from idle for say an hour, the current and voltage you draw across the motor when its doing its magic and the actual motor wattage, is the wire in your circuit all the same and what rating? - these i believe are some missing important parameters in our replication setups - please please please if you can. I realise youve revealed loads of info already but the aforementioned would be very helpful im sure - thanks


catchya all soon,

Hi All

My project hasn't moved yet so I can't comment other than there are still lot's of variables in the equation

I'm not using the exact same motor and batteries.
My motor doesn't have a gearbox as David's had.
I still need to find the right dead battery if needed.
I still need a couple more specifics on the dead battery, maybe the ones I used were too dead 

@ Dbowling

Looking over the history of your posts these 2 strike a cord    Was your "partner in crime who helped me build this thing in the first place" using the exact same components as yours?  If so, what changed in your second circuit when you changed the motor?  Was it only the brushes of the motor or anything else?

I spoke with my partner in crime who helped me build this thing in the first place. He has been running tests on his own with his own machine so that we could compare notes. He isn't having the same problems I have so we are meeting tomorrow afternoon and I will post after I talk to him. I don't know how much he has been running his or what tests he has done.

I just hooked up my whole system using the old, less powerful motor I used on the first day, and now it's working right again. I hooked up the motor I was using this weekend and it doesn't work right. SO apparently something went on inside the motor that screwed me up. Possibly wearing out the brushes with all that sparking. I don't know. But once again I am able to charge a battery and the voltage in my main batteries either stays the same or increases, and the motor runs the whole time. I will be charging up four batteries now and then discharging them through the Kill-A-Watt to see how many hours of power they put out. And doing it again and again. Kilowat hours of electricity is the "standard" my electrical engineer friend wanted to see.

Sorry for all the questions 

Regards,
Paul
